Article Synopsis
  • The CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is an effective way to prevent type 2 diabetes (T2D), but it's not widely implemented in rural areas, prompting this study to explore church settings as potential venues.
  • Interviews with church leaders and lifestyle coaches revealed that support from academic partners and alignment with community needs helped promote DPP, while barriers included transportation issues, childcare, and residents' reluctance to change their lifestyles.
  • The study emphasizes the need for tailored strategies that build on facilitators and address barriers, such as resistance to change and logistical challenges, to improve DPP implementation in rural communities.
